Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see find it hard to believe that 2X6 trusses failed in this wat over a 24' span. Are they actually "W" trusses or just rafters? Is there a 2X4 (kingpin) at the center of each truss? A kingpin, (what we call them locally) is a 2X4 or 2X6 placed verticaly from the bottom chord to the top chord. (horizontal members) While I would not recommend 8" spacing, it would work if 2x4 perlins were placed on top of 2X6 trusses rather than between them. As others have noted, if it sank, something else, like the side walls have to have moved outward. If this s the case, putting tin on top of all this, without first correcting the initial p[problem, could cause complete failure. I don't know where you are located, and you don't mention your potential snow load. In repeat what I said earlier. A 2X6 TRUSS would hardly fail over a 24' span. I can see where 2X4 perlins placed between the trusses could dip, but not a true truss.
